Every year, the large HubSpot community, of which we are a part, eagerly awaits the launch of new features and improvements to their various tools. It was on September 7, 2022 at the popular INBOUND event that Yamini Rangan, CEO at HubSpot, Stephanie Cuthbertson, CPO at HubSpot, and Dharmesh Shah, Co-Founder of HubSpot, unveiled this information.
First and foremost, it's important to understand the context and the thought behind their offensives. According to HubSpot's executive team, the world is currently experiencing a disconnection crisis caused mainly by the pandemic. It is making it more complex to connect customers, businesses, communities, but also systems and data. In order to overcome this crisis and relieve the pressure on growth, HubSpot suggests focusing on features that build meaningful relationships and meet real customer needs. The HubSpot platform is designed to connect data as well as help deliver flexible and personalized experiences through HubSpot Connect.
Welcome to the era of the connected customer!
